HTTP server for sleepy Rack applications. #HTTP server #Rack server #App server #Server #Rack #HTTP
Rainbows! is a Ruby based HTTP server for sleepy Rack applications. Rainbows! is based on Unicorn, but designed to handle applications that expect long request/response times and/or slow clients.
For Rack applications not heavily bound by slow external network dependencies, consider Unicorn instead as it simpler and easier to debug.
Rainbows is for: · 3rd-party APIs (to services outside your control/LAN) · OpenID consumers (to providers outside your control/LAN) · Reverse proxy implementations with editing/censoring (to upstreams outside your control/LAN) · Comet · BOSH (with slow clients) · HTTP server push · Long polling · Reverse Ajax
Rainbows may also be used to service slow clients even with fast applications using the Rev concurrency model.
